Bounce grew 38x in 2021 after COVID crushed travel in 2020. The team kept investing in SEO and store partnerships while demand was frozen, then captured two years of growth in one when vaccines brought travelers back. Geographic expansion and repeat usage across cities are driving continued momentum into 2022.

So what would you say has kind of contributed to the growth recently? Yeah. So a little context here, 2021, we grew 38x within the year, which is wild. It means we're reinventing the company basically every quarter. And what contributed to that growth, because that's off the charts, like 5x growth in a year is fantastic. 38x is just crazy. So 2020, our business was like crushed by COVID and we kept our foot on the gas with all of our initiatives, knowing that we wouldn't get results in 2020 because no one's traveling. If we rank higher on Google, no one's searching on Google yet. So, you know, if we have new stores on the platform but no one's traveling yet, we don't get anything in 2020. But we knew that when the pandemic would pass, we would get 2 years of growth in one. So basically, that's what happened. 2021, we started seeing— after the vaccine became widely available, we saw people started traveling again, and then our revenue just started climbing. And in 2022, we're fortunate that that has continued at almost the same rate. And yeah, it's just been fantastic. I think we also benefit from, you know, folks who use us in one city, now they really can use us in, you know, multiple places. So we'll see higher repeat rates, um, and things like that.
